The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the practical aspects of Audiovisual Translation
as well as its place in the broader cultural framework. While AVT reaches a larger audience
than any other type of translation, it comes with a number of limitations. Having become the
most popular mode of AVT, subtitling is discussed in more detail with a focus on its
constraints and translation strategies. Cultural references, however, have proved to be the
most challenging to render in translation, as well as taboo and offensive language, which have
also shown to pose problems for translators. In the Croatian subtitling of Pulp Fiction
offensive language was often censored or omitted. This resulted in a translation that appeared
much „weaker‟ than the original with much of the film‟s character being lost in the process.
